Olive Oil – Buying Quality?The quality of olive oil depends very much on the region it was produced in. The best olive oils come from the southern region of Apulia or the central regions of Latium, Umbria, and Tuscany. Pure Olive OilOil that exceeds 4% oleic acid may be adjusted to edible levels by adding such solvents like trichloroethylene that reduces the acid, then it is blended with some virgin oil to improve its taste. It can then be called Olio d'Oliva or as most producers label it, Pure Olive Oil. Virgin Olive OilVirgin Olive Oil is made exactly like Extra Virgin, but their acidity, in terms of oleic acid is allowed to reach 1 ½%, 3%, and 4%. An oil with more than 4% is not suitable for consumption. Extra Virgin Olive OilExtra virgin Olive Oil is obtained from olives that have been crushed solely by mechanical means and that have not been subjected to chemical treatment of any kind…the oil is simply crushed from the fruit. It may contain no more than 1% oleic acid. Olive Oil - (Olio d'oliva)Olive oil of the best quality makes you a better cook as soon as you start using it. |
